DOWN EAST BOOKS • 2024
In Loving the North Woods, Karin Tilberg, one of Maine’s experts on Maine’s vast woodlands and the highly regarded president/CEO of the Forest Society of Maine, chronicles the difficult challenges that led to tremendous conservation successes. Focusing on the remarkable period of activity from 1990 to 2015, during which historic achievements in American conservation unfolded, the author explores how people love a place and bring that love into action. The heretofore untold stories of conserving Maine’s North Woods hidden in files of land trusts, state government archives, forest landowner records, and in the memories of those who participated, will inspire and guide us now and far into the future. Loving the North Woods will be published in October 2024.
